I found two blowhole buttons at our best site this year. The site produced 15 coppers and close to 50 buttons.

See the blowhole button in the picture below. Those finds were from my first day there.

Nice digs Dave!! Check out Foundation Hunters post, I have a question in that thread for u guys. I have the exact same Blowhole button and they are certainly 1700's, in fact it came from the same site as the button I suspect to be a GW. Please send me a reply if you have any feedback on my post in Foundationhunters thread. Thanks!!
